The sky was cloudless, but almost completely darkAs hope was slowly draining from her body,a light shown in the skyHer pulse got fast, too fastShe could feel her heart pounding in her chest, her face getting hot and feeling drowsyThen it was goneShe wasn’t sure what it was, but a drop of water,that lightly fell on her chic, made it all clear

It only took seconds for the rain to start falling heavy,the rays kept lighting up the sky

1, 2, 3, 4…another ray 5, 6…thunderThat meant it was far

She had always been afraid of lightning,and her mother had told her to count, so she would know how far away it was,but that hadn’t helped much

Today she didn’t careShe even wanted them to come closer

Light1, 2, 3, 4Bang

It was getting closer, normally she would run inside,and hide under the coversBut this time she didn’t even moveThe rain felt soo good falling in her face,she could see her breath taking form infront of her,she knew it was really cold,but she didn’t feel anything

Every drop felt like a sweet touch on her skin, a caressAs the rain smudged her makeup, as it got all of her hair wet,her clothes completely drenched, she felt at peace,she felt like she was being hugged, she felt lovedThat wet and freezing feeling around her,that cold hug, was the sweetest and warmest, she had been given in many years

That made her start cryingHow could it be, that the rain coul feel soo much better around her,touching her, that anyone who had ever tried?

Light1, 2, 3Bang

Getting closer, every second it passed,It got closer

Yet she didn’t runNot this timeAll her life that’s what she had always done,and she was good at it too!But not this time, not when she was feeling loved,Even when it wasn’t from someone

Light1Bang

Almost hereAlmost

As she lowered her gaze, she saw that not far away,a ray of light was shining thru all that darknessher body wanted to stand up and run to it,get dry, feel warm againBut her mind didn’t let herShe felt good sitting here, she was waiting for it to get to her,catch up for the first time in her life, finally find her

LightBang

It was here

As she realized what she was hoping, she cried even harder

Of all the odds, of one chance in a millionShe knew what was nextAnd she knew she could run, keep hidingbut her head and her heart knew it was time

The last of her tears rolled downHer last smile warmed her face, for everyone she loved, yet for no one to seeHer light green eyes sparkled, for one last lookHer heart pounded for one last time
